Context
- RSUs are derivative awards that convert into common shares upon vesting; F1 confirms these RSUs vested and were converted on 5/15/2026. The filing reports both acquisition (conversion) and a same-day disposition of the converted units at $0.00; the Form 4 does not provide a reason for the $0.00 disposition.
- These entries are award/vesting and conversion events rather than open-market purchases or sales; award grants and vesting are routine forms of executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate the insider’s market view.
